A city in ruins. A dynasty in tatters. An empire in ashes…
In this episode, we look at the remarkable history of ancient China's first empire, the Han Dynasty. Using ancient Chinese poetry, songs and folk music, we look back at the rise of the first empire, its remarkable technological advances and its first tentative attempts to make contact with the empires of the West. Finally, we will examine all the reasons that led to the first period of the final and dramatic fall of Imperial China.
